Bus driver. That's the latest job. There have been many.....
I was incognito on that other place. Had a triangle emblem & called myself Solleo.
He drinks and smokes far too much for an old fella. Actually, too much even for a young fella.

Home grown?

Yes, me too. Wondered why my pay wasn't in my account.

Auckland was the only major centre not giving bus drivers an hourly increase to $30, because there wasn't enough money to do that!!

I've calculated that every week, AT loses around $1.5million, and has done for years. If there's even a squeak that fares are going up, there'll be a riot.

There are times when the unpaid fare tickets - how drivers are opposing the tsunami of fare cheats - reach the floor and beyond. Hundreds of fare cheats. The same people over and over again. They've cheated for years, some of them.

AT has transport officers. I have had 2 once on my bus. ONCE.

And of course, w/e bus services. Let's say there are 3,5k per w/e day. 7k. The loss of revenue for them: $14k.

But, of course, it's not A passenger per trip, it's sometimes TEN. And not 1 zone, but 2 or even 3!!

Next time you're on a bus, have a look at the tickets coming out of the machine.

What about all the medicines that used varieties of cannabis sativa? It was a basic in pharmacies until the money people at Dupont started their campaign to stop hemp being grown so they could sell their nylon rope.
That's a simplified version, but nevertheless, true.

Even the smokers won't want to be in a smoky atmosphere. But I pity the poor bar staff and wait staff.

One of my favourite sandwiches as a child, if I'd been carsick - always ravenous later following the purge - was a nice spaghetti sandwich. The other one was marmite and lettuce.
Yum.

It seems to me that nobody is working well.

You give them to your friends and neighbours....and anyone who has ever coveted them.

But what about your pets? I'd be inclined to put my plants outside, but I'd want safety and love for my pets.

If he says he's working hard, why don't you believe him?

Oh, that's right. He's got form......

Fabulous ideas! Tasty and nutritious.

I guess there are a lot of Israelis who do not want to accept that their forces are murdering people, and one of their knee-jerk reactions is to claim those calling for a ceasefire are antisemitic.
It's so not.
(Also Jewish people worldwide. Not all of them, but so many)

The name they gave it, so it would sound foreign! Racism all right!

The history of why it stopped being a legitimate drug is very interesting, and has a lot to do with MONEY!!

I'm sure he meant levitate
